We’ve always said three’s a good number.

The anniversary of the day we chose each other is May 31st.

Harry, Louis, Poppy, Charlie, and Max.

I want it to be us in the end.

“More than sex?”

“Like, you know... like, feelings and things.”

Harry bites down on a grin. “Oh, like feelings.”

“Don’t.”

“You’re so adorable, Lou.”

“Stop.”

“Sorry,” Harry says, but his dimples beg to differ. “M’stopping.”

Happiness is such a strange thing.

There are days when it looks like kissing in a thunderstorm and letting the rain soak through your suit because the most beautiful boy in the world has just promised to love you for the rest of your life.

And there are days when it looks like this.

“I’d like a kiss,” he says on the way to the tube as they’re leaving Sarah’s. And Louis drags him close, lips soft and warm and exactly where Harry wants to end his night. “Thank you,” he grins.

“Now I’d like another.”

“You won’t pin this on me,” Louis snorts. “If I’d had my way with you last night, you’d be too wrecked to even get words out this morning. I did you a kindness.”

“Fuck,” Harry swallows against the blush he can feel blooming up his neck. “Don’t be sexy right now. Everything hurts.”

„I mean,” Harry goes on, lowering their voice even further. “I know we’re not meant to feel competitive with other adopters, but it’s hard not to sometimes, isn’t it?”

“Oh, but Hazza, you’re forgetting,” Louis tells them, leaning right into their ear. “We’re the best people here.”

Monday night, Harry makes him promise to say if he needs a break.

“I’d not have given you a key if I didn’t like having you about.”

“Still,” Harry argues. “I don’t… I mean, I don’t want to squash you.”

“M’not squashed.” Louis squints at him, his brow knitting a moment. “Would you like a break?”

Where do you want to sit?
January 3, 2026 at 5:54 PM
“No,” Louis cuts him off. “No, it’s not been like this for me before.” He worries his lip and looks away with a small nervous laugh. “God, Haz… I wish I had some way to make you know how special you are without just telling you so. To make you believe it. But, like… like, when you tell me you want

“I really love you a lot,” he blurts out. “Are you having a good birthday eve?”

“I am.” Louis smiles. “It’s the best.”

Harry actually skates forward—like, he pushes off the ice and actually skates for a second—just so he can move in a teeny bit closer to Louis. “I’m so happy I’m here.”
December 22, 2025 at 3:34 PM
“Kiss?” Louis begs, and Harry leans in over him and brings their lips together. Louis makes a happy little sound as Harry caresses his cheek. “Another?”

He obliges. It’s so rare he gets him so openly needy like this, and it makes Harry’s heart stutter. “I really can’t stay, Lou.”
December 21, 2025 at 3:27 PM
“You’re amazing, you know that?” Harry says. “You’re brave and wonderful and amazing. And if he can’t see that in you, that’s his loss.”

Louis closes his eyes. “I miss you.”

“I just… I wanted to, um—” And Harry doesn’t know why they feel like saying this now, except that everything they’re feeling seems to be right on the surface at the moment. “I’m… I’m non￾binary,” they stumble out awkwardly. “He/they. Sometimes. And I just… I guess I just… wanted you to know.”

“Well, still.” Louis sighs. “I want you to know… There’s not anyone else for me, Hazza. I can’t imagine there’ll ever be. You’re it, and… m’not getting bored at all. If anything, the more time I have with you, the more I want, which is just— You’re… You’re the love of my life.”

“You think we can do this,” he says, snuffling softly.

“Who, you and me?” Harry grins. “Yeah, Lou. Our little team can do anything.”

If Harry wasn't a little tipsy, maybe he would have been able to keep his mouth shut...

“It’s the hardest part sometimes. Letting go of all the possibilities you dream up while loving someone,” Zayn says. “But, you know, if you’re always trying to make an old future fit a new life, you’ll feel heartbroken forever.”

Harry’s chest tightens, and he nods.

Harry is zoomed criminally close in on a picture of Louis’ face. He’s swallowed his mouth dry, and he can hear his heart in his ears. It’s just… no one has ever been as beautiful as Louis. He’s sure of it. And being in love with him… knowing that this gorgeous person calls him baby…

“No, Lou— you don’t make me feel like there’s some perfect version of myself I have to be for you,” he says. “You just… love me. And this dress… S’like it was so perfect, that it wasn’t right at all.” He shakes his head again. “I’m not making any sense.”

“You’re making sense to me,” Louis says,
December 11, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Louis flashes him a sideways look. “Can you stop being so agreeable?”

“Sure,” Harry smiles. “If you want.”

And that’s enough to make Louis laugh a little. Harry relishes the sound of it.

“S’not really that I think you’re in danger so much as I’m just—”

“What? Territorial?” Harry fills in with a smirk.

Louis rubs at the back of his neck. “Alright.”

“Louis Tomlinson-Styles. All those romance novels are getting to your head, I fear.”

“Yeah, well, we knew that already, didn’t we?”
December 9, 2025 at 2:54 PM
“Because…” Harry squeezes his eyes shut tight. “Because I… I’m not the boy that people choose,” he gets out. And, oh. He didn’t know that fear was still there until he said it. That that was what’s been buried under his skin, buzzing against his ribs all this time.
